Abstract

A continuous casting plant has rollers or rolls for supporting, guiding, bending and straightening or deforming a wide strand, which rollers or rolls have annular recesses distributed over their longitudinal extensions forming bearing pins that are received in two outer bearings and at least one inner bearing arranged therebetween. One of the outer bearings acts as a fixed bearing, while all the other bearings act as expansion bearings.
